Research and Applying Metaphor: Metaphor and Technology
7-10 août 2025
Lawrence Technological University - Southfield, MI (États-Unis)
The study of metaphor is bidirectionally connected to technology. In one direction, metaphor actively shapes our conceptualization of emerging technologies, such as in communicating and thinking about novel technologies and scientific advances (i.e., information highway, airport, the brain is a computer). In the other direction, emerging technologies can actively contribute to the study of metaphor, from using big data to build computational models of metaphor, to technology providing new means of metaphoric expression, such as in social media and memes. Here, we propose a conference theme of Metaphor and Technology to encompass the multiple ways metaphor and technology, broadly defined, interact. We are particularly interested in papers and posters that are related to this theme, but welcome all submissions that fit the general RaAM areas of study.
